Bruce,

I'm probably preaching to the choir with this, but I never underestimate the power of prayer. In '95 my father-in-law had a cardiac event (heart stopped) in John Wayne Airport and went to the floor (near the rental car counters by the big statue). The Sheriff's Deputy close by saw him go down and got the EMT's there and they hit him with the paddles on the way to Irvine Medical Center, where they brought him back (he was gone for over 11 minutes total). My wife was contacted right away, and we jumped in the car for the 15 minute drive down the 405 with my her on the rosaries the whole way. The intensity with which she was communicating was impressive. He came through it and is still here today.
There was a great deal of concern for the brain swelling, and we were warned if he survived, it could well be in a vegitative state.

I will never underestimate the power of prayer. Hang in ther Holly!
